Next, the boys' breakdown a controversy with longtime NHL Head Coach and Stanley Cup Champion Mike Babcock and his resignation with the Columbus Blue Jackets, how the information leading to his resignation came out, his problematic history in the NHL, and future predictions. Next, No Dumb Questions (36:45) features member of the Kraken Pod Fam Daniel Reyes asking whether or not the Seattle Kraken will elect a Captain for the 2023-2024 season and Jeff and Joey go into their personal predictions for what they believe Ron Francis and the organization is attempting to do as the team moves forward into the future. Three Stars of the Week has everything from Taylor Swift and a semi-conspiracy theory to Call the Midwife, hard rock country, the Colorado Buffaloes, Jeff's transition into a west coast guy, and Joey's epic recap of his travel abroad this summer.

TYE KARTYE JOINS THE POD! Jeff comes in clutch with the coffee delivery before the two go into this week's Kraken Reaction (4:18) which covers a former Seattle Kraken assault case against Daniel Sprong at the Detroit Grand Prix, saying goodbye to Martin Jones as he makes his way to Toronto on a 1-year deal, the NHL '24 cover featuring Cale Makar, and an interview with Tye Kartye (17:50). Tye joins the pod from a coffee shop in Kingston where he talks about growing up playing hockey, being a Pittsburgh Penguins fan, his rise to the AHL and Rookie of the Year, being called up by the Kraken and scoring in his debut in a playoff game against the Colorado Avalanche, nickname suggestions, and a lot more. No Dumb Questions features a member of the Kraken Pod Fam asking if the podcast will ever have episodes available via video, Jeff and Joey peel back the curtain to discuss what they're currently working on and put out a PSA that they're in the market to find someone to help with socials and some plans for the upcoming season. Three Stars of the Week has Jeff talking about the "Longest Third Date" on Netflix and more fish from Alaska before he quite literally runs out of the door. Joey covers Tiffany Gomas emerging from the shadows, the Johnny Manziel documentary (with some spoilers), and a call to action to help those in Maui during the devastating wildfires. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.

Joey's Bronchitis. Jordan's Flu Game. Storming the beaches of Normandy. An earth-shattering episode of THE Kraken Pod is upon us. Joey reveals to Jeff that he is fresh from the hospital, rocking the wristband to prove it as the two catch up on life before heading into this week's Kraken Reaction (6:40) which covers how Seattle is vying for the right to host the IIHF World Junior's in 2026, who their competition is, what that would mean for hockey culture in the Pacific NorthWest, and an update on Seattle Kraken super fan Nadia Popovici who dominated the headlines in the inaugural season with a life-saving catch on the Canucks bench and how her newest donation will save yet another life. Next, the boys breakdown the Erik Karlsson trade and how Pittsburgh might really have been the only team in the NHL capable of pulling this move off at this exact time, how Dubas is undoing all of Hextall's moves and putting Crosby and Malkin in position to play for one more Cup, and how the San Jose Sharks really fumbled the bag on the opportunity to ship out yet another star. Another week of no No Dumb Questions (what is icing?!) followed by Three Stars of the Week which has everything from Ninja Turtles, homemade chicken noodle soup, Taylor Swift, the Pac-12 and college football landscape, and much more. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.

We have an off-season controversy on our hands, folks! Jeff and Joey recover to bring a PACKED episode. This week's Kraken Reaction (5:30) features NHL news from around the league, faraway Kraken fan nickname updates that may or may not have to be taken to a vote, and then the boys get into the controversy that is BookTok, what is BookTok, how Alex Wennberg and his wife got involved, and ultimate how it became international news and the organization had to step away after initially embracing it. It's a lot to unpack and if you're with family or little ones as you listen to the pod we suggest some earmuffs. After a heavy topic it's time to switch things up and the two go over some notes from members of the Kraken Pod Fam both at home and abroad including getting drunk at a casino and throwing down a Seattle Kraken future. No Dumb Questions (what is icing?!) is out this week and Joey hops into his Tales of the Cocktail plus Kraken Rum party recap including how he ended up at a gay bar singing Nelly Furtado until 5 AM. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from football is BACK(!), a book recommendation, fish from Alaska, a tribute to Paul Reubens aka Pee Wee Herman, and more. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.

The boys are back! Jeff still has his sea legs after returning from an epic trip into enemy territory with the family while Joey is running on no sleep after a 5 AM bender in New Orleans. This week's Kraken Reaction (11:14) covers the extension of Vince Dunn aka THE DUNNDERTAKER and how the deal makes sense for both sides, other restricted free agent signings the Seattle Kraken handled before things went to arbitration, Dave Hakstol's multi-year deal with the organization, and how things are brewing in Detroit (Detroit Red Wings Podcast) with the trade made for Alex DeBrincat to return home. Next, No Dumb Questions (34:25) has member of the Kraken Pod Fam Corey Mundsack weigh in on how Tampa Bay has a nickname for long-distance fans and if the Seattle Kraken were to adopt this mantra, what that nickname would be because Jeff and Joey sure as hell have no idea. Three Stars of the Week covers everything from cruise trips high and lows, Suntory Japanese Whiskey, Threads, and much, much more. Ending, as always, with the Chirp of the Week.
